Think I'd blame the underhit back pass more than the keeper.

Don’t think his defender did him any favours? Think he’s had a good game so far and I wouldn’t be disappointed to see him next season instead of Stanway

Says it all. Dominated the game for so long. Can’t get the second, miss a penalty. Concede two. Absolute shite.

Shocking. I am disgusted with the lack of backbone from most of this team. Recruitment criteria for next season isn't "good chaps who can fit in" we want hard men with some grit and determination.

EDIT: plus a manager who won't tolerate any snowflakes.

As soon as I saw they'd equalised there was only gonna be one winner. Even before that, when it was obvious the miracle was never gonna happen and results weren't going Newport's way.

Nothing to add. Hope all this lot can be moved on, and I mean all of them. The club needs a squad rebuild.

Pathetic. A game we were winning comfortably and we throw it away again .
